THANKS A MILLION!
Today on our second anniversary I wish to thonk our many custo mers and friends for their most valued patronage. On January 17, 1945 we started operation of our new plant. Since that time we have been able to increase our output considerably. This has been due largely to your ready acceptance of our products and services, for which I am very grateful. Il has been our aim in the past to provide our customers with the best in dairy products. During the war years it has been impossible to do much in the way of improvement. However with the loosening of governmental controls and the more abundant supply of fluid milk, which we hope to see in the not too distant future, we expect to be able to moke those improvements which will be most beneficial to our patrons, both in quality and conveniences. So for myself and my employees I soy ogain Thonks A Million" E. G. HURST HURSTS DAIRY
